Chapter 380 – Getting Closer

[Brother. What are you doing?]
[Please reply. I’m in a hurry.]
[What are you doing?]

Talk came almost every minute.
I waited leisurely, checking only the contents of the notification window, and sent a reply two minutes after the last call.

[I was taking a shower. What’s urgent?]

[I want to buy a laptop, but I don’t know what’s good. Can you recommend it for less than 300,000 won?]

Are you in a hurry to buy a laptop?
These days, delivery comes by drone as soon as you press the button.
Just say that you want to talk to me.

[I’ll ask the doctor to buy one.]

[I don’t want to. Now I’m sorry that Boyoung is getting living expenses from her sister… She’ll be sorry if she gets expensive things for free.]

[The headquarters is providing support to the Beast Slayers. For things like household items and home appliances, you just have to say it. Headquarters operating expenses are tight, but laptops are enough with the remaining budget. So don’t be afraid.]

[It’s tight? Hate it more I do not accept.]

You have strong useless stubbornness.
It seems that there is a big desire to be self-reliant.

[OK got it.]

Whoa-!

Not long after I sent the reply, I got a call from Stella.
After glancing at Sylvia sleeping next to her, I cautiously left the room and brought the phone to my ear.

“Why all of a sudden?”

– I want to talk. Why? Can’t I call

After confirming each other’s feelings, Stella’s attitude strangely changed.
The feeling of being watched over my every move.
It wasn’t nearly as strong as an obsession, but it gave off that kind of feeling.

“Nope. Are you okay. But if so, how would you recommend a laptop?”

-Brother, you know that very well. The doctor said my brother is a machine maniac.

“Not to the point where the product immediately pops into my head. And that’s not what I meant when I said I was a machine maniac…”

-I know. I made a joke once. Then just do it when you pick me up tomorrow.

“You said you were in a hurry?”

– You can use Alex’s computer by tomorrow. Did I say Alex said he bought a computer because he worked part-time.

You can openly say that you called because you wanted to talk to me, but that’s really disingenuous.
That side is cute, though.

“I said Looks like Alex isn’t home? It was too late…”

– Tomorrow is closed, so I’m coming to play with my friends. Did you eat bro?

It is obvious that he intentionally avoids talking about Beast Slayers and devices.
It’s this much even though I haven’t tried to charge it yet, but I’m worried about what I’ll do when I start doing various insidious things tomorrow.
No, it was right to expect it.

“You said you ate. I do not remember?”

-Is that so…? I’m bored because I’m alone. Would you like to come here?

Dude, that word can be misleading depending on what you hear.
The sentence itself is obnoxious. So don’t say that to anyone but me.
There will be no one to do it.

“Is it past 11 o’clock now?”

-Is it a little…?

“I’ll go early tomorrow morning.”

– You have to come early because it’s a schedule anyway.

“So what?”

-Just… Come on time.

“Okay.”

We didn’t say anything until the minute hand went down one.
Even so, there was no awkward energy at all.
It was fresh. Stella must be feeling the same way as I am.

Our relationship has progressed further.
I didn’t confess directly, but I and Stella also know our distance.

– I’m going to sleep now. Sleepy. Brother go to sleep Tomorrow will be hard…

“Okay. Good night.”

-Brother.

“Yes?”

-Miss you.

Look at this Even though it’s a creepy voice, you don’t hesitate to reveal your feelings.
The corners of her mouth are torn apart.

The phone was cut off before I knew it.
Stella, who could not stand her shame, cut it off first.
I hope tomorrow comes soon.
Thinking so, Sylvia, who was sleeping next to me, covered the blanket with her feet.

It’s time for Stella to have her obsession with recharging her sluggish Aether.
Not as much as Sylvia, who was terrified between Adele and me, though.
I’ll use this to my advantage so that Stella can find satisfaction in her sexual activity.

**

Rattle.

Stella opens the passenger side door and sits down in her chair with a shy gesture.
I can see that there is some makeup left on it, but it seems like I erased it because I didn’t like it after working hard on it.
If I had more time, I would have ridden in full makeup.

“Did you sleep well…?”

Stella asked shyly.
I smiled and took out a wet tissue and wiped the remaining BB cream under Stella’s ears.
Her shoulder flinched at him, and she turned her words around.

“Oh, what was the schedule for today?”

“You know it too well.”

“Brother is my manager. If I ask you, you should answer well…!”

“Are you trying to bully me?”

“Go, Gapjil… That’s not it…”

I’m embarrassed, so I said it out of anger, everyone knows.
I said, fed up.

“I just need to stop by the agency for a moment. And I need to eat, so get in the back.”

“… I want to eat later.”

“Hurry.”

“No.”

Stella likes that I take care of her in this way, as if I would take care of her dear sister.
It’s fun to be in the receiving position instead of always giving.
It was clear when I saw him acting childishly with a smile on his bashish face.

“I made it while sleeping less, but are you saying you won’t eat it?”

“Who doesn’t eat? You said you’d eat later. If you eat it as soon as you wake up in the morning, you will feel bloated. It’s even worse when you eat greasy food.”

As soon as I wake up after putting on my makeup.
Why don’t you just talk with me and tell me honestly that you want to go?
I laughed and said.

“I ate well until now, so why are you complaining? Then, will you bring fruit tomorrow?”

“I hate that too. The rice my brother makes is delicious. Let’s go. I will be late.”

Unlike usual, I put it back to automatic driving mode and set a destination.
Slow moving, very well tinted car.
Stretching out with my free hand, I looked at Stella and tapped my shoulder.
It means fasten your seat belt. Stella then rests her head on her car window, resting her elbow on it.

I’m pretending I didn’t see it, but I’m dumbfounded because my insides are exposed.
That was an act I was asked to tie up.
I caught her nose and reached for Stella’s back neck.
Something that happened accidentally. Startled, Stella trembles all over her body.

The back of her neck cooled by the cold wind. Her muscles are stiff with surprise.
Stella’s expression changes to languorous as she lifts her soft tresses and caresses her neck gently.
I spoke to her in a soft commanding tone.

“Tie the belt.”

“…. Ah Okay…”

Stella obediently obeyed me this time and took her hand to her belt.
When I glanced at the device, there was neither light nor sound.
You don’t consider this a sexual act? It’s pretty disappointing.

After a while of giving her a massage without saying anything, Stella’s head was completely tilted back.
The position of her legs together changed to a position where her knees were together and her toes were apart.
A pretty naughty pose. I put a cardigan over her legs and asked softly.

“Great?”

“Yeah… Ok… Add it…”

The dialogue is also bizarre.
It means that our Leolleonggi has a secret color.
Or maybe I got a dye in my hair.

Stella was fidgeting with her hands and trying to gnaw at her own fingernails.
Evidence that emotions are fluctuating.
I didn’t criticize her Stella, but I lowered her hand down to the area around her cervical spine that connects to her shoulder line and pressed it firmly.
Then, shortly after,

Uh…

A very, very small sound came from Stella’s device.
Her eyes lit up and I examined Stella’s expression.
Unaware of her voice, she just opens her mouth slightly with her eyes closed.
She doesn’t seem to be aware that she’s feeling it subconsciously.

‘Great.’

I just need to increase her water level like this.
Weak at first, then up her intensity when she’s about to regret the weak level.
Just like drug addicts who start out with cannabis and end up looking for highly addictive drugs, that’s what drags them down into the swamp.

**

“What was it really like? It was a shame because it was on the verge of passing… If I was attacked while I was in the place where the monster appeared… I feel dizzy just thinking about it. You could have died know?”

At Choi Seung-hwan’s words full of worries, Stella smiled awkwardly.

“Yes… That’s right…”

“I’m glad it ended with minor injuries. Both look fine But what about the car? Are you at the car center?”

Stella’s complexion darkened slightly.
As she worried about people, she went straight to talking about her car, and she seemed very slightly disappointed with Choi Seung-hwan.
I, who was sitting next to her, answered.

“Yes. I put it in, but it will take several months.”

“Are you very broken?”

“The engine side devices are all broken. They say it’s hard to find parts for the fort. We asked for the estimate to be billed through our agency.”

“What… Why do you file a claim directly with the agency instead of just contacting the insurance company?”

“There was no insurance against damage to the vehicle from a monster.”

At those words, Choi Seung-hwan clicked his tongue as if he was absurd.

“It’s a trick to steal money, but who puts in that kind of thing… Will it be worse if it’s dealt with as a natural disaster? Like this bully…”

Choi Seung-hwan, who had been swearing at the insurance company, noticed Stella and cleared his throat.
Then he spoke.

“What did you ride all the way here?”

“Boyoung is my older sister’s car.”

“Is that so? When she goes, she takes a key from Hee-joo. Because I got a new van.”

“Used?”

“What about a used car… It’s a new car, dude.”

Even if it looks small, you do it when you have to.
Or did you hear something from Boyoung?
She glanced to the side and saw that Stella was very fond of her.
It is because it is a new car, not a car that someone has used.
I can see that you are thinking about what to put in your new home.

Choi Seung-hwan makes an absurd expression when he sees Stella’s blushing face.
He shook his head and said to me.

“Didn’t you have any trouble driving?”

“Yes.”

“Then let’s go back to our schedule from tomorrow. Are you fine?”

“The doctor told me to take a few days off because there might be aftereffects… I think it will be difficult if I go straight into the schedule.”

“Okay? Then these days, I take Stella with me while driving. I have nothing to do, but that’s fine.”

Stella’s eyes widened at those words.
She glanced at Choi Seung-hwan, who said she would show her real manager, and opened her mouth.

“I… CEO. What the doctor said was not what Jihyeok said to my brother… It was to me.”

“Yes?”

“He told me to take a few days off… Jihyeok isn’t my brother…”

“Is that so…? Don’t even tell me in advance…”

Why? That’s because it’s a lie you just made up.
He’s making up words because he doesn’t want someone other than himself and me to come into his new home.
Stella weakly pinches my leg without Choi Seung-hwan’s knowledge.
Means to help. I cleared my throat slightly and said.

“I told you when I called from the hospital.”

“Is it…? Why can’t I remember…?”

“You must have been busy then.”

“I remember that I wasn’t particularly busy… But I keep blinking these days. Then what… Can I rest for three or three days?”

Stella hesitated in reply.

“He told me to take a break for about a week…”

“One week?”

Choi Seung-hwan was a little troubled.
Then Stella opened her shoulders as if to patronize her.

“Yeah, but I also want to work quickly, so I think I can rest for four days!”

“Four days is enough to rest. Are you okay?”

Seunghwan, erase your smile, you son of a bitch.
What would Stella think if I smiled and said something like that?

“I’m fine.”

“Now I feel like a professional celebrity. I’ll try to control it so that I’m not as busy as possible. Let’s work hard OK?”

“Yes, CEO!”

Then, a few trivial topics were exchanged, and the meeting ended like that.
After leaving the office with Stella, I looked at Stella with an expression of disapproval and asked quietly.

“Why did you have to lie like that?”

“… Shh, because I want to rest. I’ve been running too late.”

“Sometimes it’s better to be busy.”

“Well, that was before I became a Beast Slayer… I have to train now. You also need adequate rest. Stop talking about that now. This is the agency. CEO or Hee-joo unnie can listen to it.”

Like I said, everything is said… Tzu-tzu…
The tiger said that he would come if I spoke to him, so the door to the bathroom opened and Chun Hee-joo came out.
As she raised her hand to greet us, she looked at Stella, who instinctively covered her wrist, her eyes shining.

“Did you buy a watch? Are you very pretty?”

“Ah… This… Chi, I got it as a gift from a relative.”

“Where is the brand from?”

“I don’t know much about watches… But unnie, I’m curious about the reaction to your debut song. Can I read your comments?”

“No. You said not to read the comments. I’m naive, so if I see malicious comments, I might get hurt.”

The skill of turning words skillfully is quite good.
By the way, I got four more days off unintentionally… That’s great.
At this point, you need to speed up the relationship.
I want to pull Alex even deeper into the abyss.
